Hello, everyone, welcome to Lockdown Nuggets. I'm your host, Matt Moore, solo episode tonight for Lockdown Nuggets.

Adamaz is out with, you know, running all things over at DNVR.

Today, we will talk about, well, the starting lineup changed in the final preseason game.

We'll talk about that preseason game and what a preseason game it was for the Denver Nuggets.

And we'll wrap up the preseason with how the Nuggets look going into the regular season,

which starts next week.

Can you believe it?

It's already here.

So let's start with the big talking point.

I thought about maybe just saying like, well, no, like the guys deserve, you know,

the conversation first to be about how good they were, et cetera, et cetera.

And then I was like, you know, it's preseason.

Like, it's fine if we just go ahead and talk about the thing that is the thing.

And the thing is Michael Porr Jr. was removed from the starting lineup and Will Barton

was moved in.

I think when we start to look at, Adam and I talked about it, we wondered if there were going to be changes.

I said I wouldn't be surprised if any of the three Michael, Porra Jr., Paul Millsab, or Gary Harris were slid out.

I'm not surprised that that happened.

I'm not surprised that it came in this final preseason game.

Malone has not committed to what his starting lineup is.

So you can do this in preseason and say, I want to get a sense for how it looked.

And the reality is that it looks really good.
